Definitions
- DMEA Microelectronics Activity
- This invention pertains generally to electronic manufacturing, and more particularly to laser-induced forward transfer contactless assembly of small components.
- Laser transfer technologies are receiving increasing attention in the industry. Existing technologies, however, suffer from significant drawbacks which limit their applicability.
- One of the approaches utilized for laser transferring articles involves: (1 ) attaching the transfer article to a transfer substrate (carrier) by means of a dynamic release layer (DRL), and then (2) ablating a plume of material from the dynamic release layer (DRL) to forcibly eject the article toward a receiving substrate.
- This method incorporates a dynamic release layer and an adhesive layer to attach the transfer article.
- the DRL is considered to release the transfer article by changing the physical state of the DRL, for example by vaporization or melting, in response to exposure to the energy source that causes a rapid and localized plume of material ejected from the carrier which projects the transfer article to a receiving substrate.
- This ablative mechanism for laser-assisted transfer has been described in a number of publications in the field.
- the combination of the stochastic nature of the release dynamics and flight instability thwart achieving any consistency in article placement.
- the lack of positioning precision is inherent for this process when a relatively low density gas is used to push a higher density object.
- a bare die is a small piece cut (e.g., typically rectangular) from a semiconductor wafer that contains a microelectronic semiconductor device, that is an integrated circuit, also referred to an "IC", or “chip”.
- these die may comprise micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and other devices, or device components, separated from a semiconductor wafer.
- MEMS micro electro-mechanical systems
- the "etched wafer" is sandwiched between the transfer plate and the receiving substrate.
- the transferred die is beneath and in contact with the polyimide ribbon to which it is transferred.
- Contact transfer suffers from shortcomings, including: (1 ) the possibility to mechanically damage the transfer article when bringing it in contact with the receiving substrate; (2) the inability to perform a transfer when other components have already been placed on the substrate; (3) the inability to perform transfers on other than a planar surface; (4) the inability to transfer articles at a high rate because it requires (a) positioning the substrate with the transfer article in the desired location, (b) bringing down the substrate with the article, (c) transferring the article, (d) lifting the substrate. It will be appreciated that steps (b) and (d) are omitted in the contactless transfer.
- a method of assembling ultra-thin (e.g., less than about 50 ⁇ thick) articles, such as electronic components, in a laser contactless assembly utilizing an improved laser-induced forward transfer technique is well suited to the assembly of ultra-thin articles, such as semiconductor dice. Although particularly well-suited for use with electronic components, the method can be utilized for assembling other devices, such as components of micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and any other small discrete components.
- MEMS micro electro-mechanical systems
- tmSLADT Thermo-Mechanical Selective Laser Assisted Die Transfer
- brittle materials such as silicon
- a strength of the present invention allows for packaging of ultra-thin dice, and other ultra-thin components or articles with thicknesses of less than 50 ⁇ and, even more particularly less than 30 ⁇ , where other methods have not been
- the present invention can be utilized for handling articles, such as dice, in a wide area range. It will be noted that complications can arise with handling dice on either end of the size spectrum. Small size dice, such as several hundredths of a square mm area, may have insufficient mass for separation from the carrier and transfer over the gap in response to
- ultra-thin dice When ultra-thin dice are large, such as several square mm or more in area, they can be difficult to handle because of issues with bending and warpage. Examples are provided herein for performing the present inventive transfer for articles having thicknesses of 65 ⁇ , 50 ⁇ , and 25 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ .
- the present invention provides a gentle transfer mechanism suitable for these ultra-thin articles, with the examples illustrating that the method and apparatus can be practiced across a range of die thicknesses below 100 ⁇ without limitation.
- the methods of the present invention do not rely on the use of a plume of vaporized material from the dynamic release layer (DRL) to transfer the article(s).
- the laser beam e.g., pulse or pulses
- the blister that provides a gentle push of the transfer article (die) off of the dynamic release layer, thus separating the article towards the receiving substrate.
- the DRL, and more particularly the blistering layer thereof are subject to only a limited nonpenetrating ablation, which creates vapors to form a blister, without rupturing the blister.
- the laser power and thickness of the blistering layer are selected to prevent ablation vapors from bursting the blister and directly contacting the article of transfer.
- high laser power values of between 1 and 50 mJ/pulse DRL evaporation were utilized in performing ablative laser transfer.
- the present invention uses laser power (energy) of much less than 1 mJ to assure that the blisters do not burst during the process.
- embodiments of the present invention have utilized less than 20 ⁇ /pulse in achieving successful transfers. It can be appreciated from this energy value, that the present process is a gentle one in comparison to ablative release processes, whose energy levels can easily shatter ultra-thin semiconductor dice.
- the basic concept of this method includes using a dynamic release layer (DRL), such as a dual polymeric release layer, to attach the articles to be transferred to a laser-transparent carrier.
- DRL dynamic release layer
- the DRL in one embodiment of the invention comprises both a blistering layer and an adhesive layer.
- the blistering layer preferably comprises a polymer, polyimide, or inorganic material configured for controlled ablation (i.e., not explosively) when irradiated with a laser beam having specific characteristics (e.g., wavelength and pulse energy) and which exhibits appropriate elastic behavior and mechanical strength so that a blister can be formed without rupturing.
- the DRL is irradiated by a laser beam, such as preferably a laser pulse or pulses through the laser-transparent carrier.
- a laser beam such as preferably a laser pulse or pulses through the laser-transparent carrier.
- the transparent carrier comprises a significantly less flexible material than the DRL layer to assure that the energy of the blister is directed in the desired direction toward the adhesive layer and retained transfer articles, and preventing blister extension in the opposite direction.
- the laser energy absorbed at the carrier to DRL interface evaporates a small amount of material of the blistering layer, generating gases that create a blister in the DRL without disrupting it. The blister then gently pushes the transfer article off the DRL towards the receiving substrate placed in close proximity.
- the blister response is provided by a blistering layer adjacent to the transparent carrier layer.
- the blister size and integrity are controlled by the laser beam parameters and the thickness and material properties of the blistering layer.
- the blistering layer is thicker than its laser absorption depth.
- a second layer, an adhesive layer, is deposited on the blistering layer which serves to temporarily bond the article until transfer.
- the adhesive properties and thickness of this adhesive layer are preferably tightly controlled to regulate the successful non-violent transfer of the article attached to it without damaging it.
- the DRL may comprise a single layer or multiple layers if they have the appropriate laser absorption, blistering, and adhesion properties. It should be noted that these layers, in particular the absorption layer, may comprise inorganic materials.
- the present invention provides a beneficial and novel technique for high-throughput handling and placement of ultra-thin articles, such as bare semiconductor dice. These ultra-thin articles are less than 100 ⁇ and more preferably less than about 50 ⁇ , with the invention being demonstrated to handle articles of significantly less thickness. Although capabilities exist both for placement of ultra-thin dice as well as placement of regular size dice at high rates, there is an unfilled gap when both capabilities are required simultaneously.
- the laser-assisted transfer method described herein offers numerous benefits when placing ultra-thin discrete components that may not be compatible with traditional pick-and-place equipment.
- the present invention appears unique in its ability to support high-volume assembly of ultra-thin semiconductor bare dice, beneficial in manufacturing the next generation of mass produced high-density miniature electronic devices.
- the laser release operation of the invention provides a contactless process, which if properly controlled provides safe component assembly on significantly smaller scale parts than pick-and- place capabilities.
- the tmSLADT process described herein represents an enabling technology as it offers capabilities not otherwise available. It should also be recognized that the tmSLADT process described herein is capable of significantly higher placement speeds, such as placing 100 components per second as compared to placing 2 components per second for conventional pick-and-place machines. The speed increase is thus over an order of magnitude, and nearly two orders of magnitude.
- a method of transferring small discrete components uses focused, low-energy laser pulses to create a blister in the DRL at the interface between the DRL and the laser-transparent carrier in response to localized heating.
- the article located on the underside of the DRL is mechanically translated for accurate placement and transfer through an air gap on a receiving substrate.
- the blister gently pushes the article with a force sufficient to overcome the adhesive force.
- the force exerted by the blister in addition to the gravitational force of the transfer article, changes the momentum of the transfer article and initiates the transfer over the gap,

- Microelectronic devices assembled on flexible substrates which are based on the placement of ultra-thin components (including semiconductor dice), find new and exciting applications in wearable and low-cost disposable electronics, health care, space applications, MEMS, solar cells, document security, biomedical, and other applications which benefit from flexibility, form fitment, and / or manipulation robust construction.
- Flexible electronics are still an evolving and highly dynamic technology area in comparison to traditional electronics packaging technology where discrete electronic components are attached to rigid, laminate-based printed circuit boards using surface-mount and / or through-hole methods. Fabricating a flexible electronic device is more complex than merely replacing the rigid board with a flexible substrate. Bulky, heavy, rigid components, such as the majority of integrated circuit (IC) packages, are not designed for being supported by a thin, flexible substrate. Attaching these to a flexible circuit would compromise the quintessential property of a flexible electronic device - its flexibility. Flexible substrates require not only a small chip, but a flexible chip as well. This can be achieved only if the thickness of the silicon is reduced to less than 100 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ , and more preferably 50 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ or less.
- Cost is often of paramount importance when manufacturing disposable electronics, with the cost of the silicon often being the largest contributor to the total cost of a disposable electronic device, such as an RFID tag. It is well known in the trade that the cost of the semiconductor die scales with area raised to the 1 .5 to 2 power. Therefore, reducing the die size by half would reduce the cost of silicon by a factor of 8 to 16. Cost depends also on the die thickness. Thinner wafers allow the manufacturer to obtain a higher quantity of slices from an ingot, whereby wafer cost is reduced.
- the die bonders can process thick dice at a rate of 3000 components per hour. This rate is much lower for precision assembly of ultra-thin dice because placement accuracy and rate are inversely correlated. Although a single-nozzle placement machine may have the precision to place small-size electronic components, this equipment cannot handle ultra-thin dice and similar components at a rate sufficient for high throughput assembly. Therefore, die placement is increasingly becoming the limiting factor on the widespread adoption of cost effective ultra-thin
- ablative techniques a high-fluence single laser pulse creates a high-velocity jet of evaporated release material that ejects the die at high speed. The less violent thermal process decomposes the release material, in response to gradual heating of the area of the tape that holds the die, until the die literally drops onto the receiving substrate under gravitational force.
- the ablative releasing method has been found to provide highly unpredictable component transfers and results in a local system which behaves closely to a "confined ablation" configuration.
- a sacrificial layer is vaporized as it is heated by a laser.
- the vaporized materials are not confined between the carrier substrate and the bonded component on its surface.
- the rapidly expanding localized plume of vaporized material projects the transfer component to the adjacent receiving substrate.
- the component to be transferred is prepared in the same way as the ablative releasing sample; however, the sacrificial layer behaves in a different manner.
- the sacrificial layer is heated relatively slowly with laser fluences significantly lower than those used in an ablative release.
- the thermal release still relies upon the laser energy being absorbed by the semiconductor component to be transferred.
- the resulting process includes a gradual heating of the sacrificial layer and provides for a less volatile and more predictable transfer process.
- the problem with the thermal releasing mechanism is the need to precisely control the process and the release material properties in order to achieve the desired effect.
- the separation of the die from the softened release layer relies on the gravitational force that has to overcome the forces of attraction acting on the interface between the die and release layer. This transfer can be problematic, or impossible, for dice with a small mass or lower aspect ratio (thickness-to- projected area).
- the results of the laser-assisted transfer techniques depend to a great extent on the composition and properties of the layer which bonds the transfer article to the releasing substrate, known as the dynamic releasing layer (DRL).
- the absorbed laser energy causes a total or partial evaporation of the DRL, with the kinetic energy of the evaporated material utilized to drive component transfer at high speed and subject to damage and imprecision.
- the present invention overcomes the problems with both thermal and ablative laser transfer techniques.
- the DRL compositions of the invention are selected so that the rapid localized heating adjacent the article to be transferred creates a blister of gas in the DRL which mechanically translates the article towards the receiving substrate to effect the transfer.
- FIG. 1 A through FIG. 1 B illustrate an example embodiment 10 of a Thermo-Mechanical Selective Laser-Assisted Die Transfer (tmSLADT) process.
- tmSLADT Thermo-Mechanical Selective Laser-Assisted Die Transfer
- This tmSLADT process is particularly well-suited as an electronic packaging technology for high-throughput, low-cost contactless assembly of ultra-thin bare dice and other small components onto rigid and flexible substrates while overcoming the shortcomings of previous die transfer processes.
- a solid article for transfer 12 (e.g., die), is adhered to an adhesive layer 20 of a carrier 14.
- the opposing side of the source material has a laser- wavelength transparent substrate 16.
- a blistering layer 18 is situated between the transparent substrate 16 and adhesive layer 20.
- the combination of blistering layer 18 and adhesive layer 20 comprises a dynamic release layer (DRL) 22.
- DRL dynamic release layer
- the confined gas of blistering layer 18 exerts a contained expansion force on the surrounding structure (non-vaporized portion of the film).
- the pressure inside the layer generates stress in the surrounding layer that exceeds its yield strength, it starts to deform plastically and a blister 26 forms which separates article 12, as seen in FIG. 1 B, from the adhesive layer 20 and directs its motion for transfer to another substrate.
- the pressure of the heated expanding gas drops as the volume of the blister increases until a steady state equilibrium is reached.
- the single-layer DRL configuration such as having a 1 - 10 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇
- blistering layer e.g., of polyimide
- a relatively shallow ultraviolet (UV) absorption depth e.g., 0.2 - 0.5 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇
- UV absorption depth e.g., 0.2 - 0.5 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇
- three types of material properties should be precisely controlled to optimize operation of a single-layer DRL: (1 ) laser absorption, (2) mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, and (3) adhesive properties. Consequently, a two-part DRL embodiment (e.g., as seen in FIG. 1 A through FIG.
- the dual-layer DRL configuration allows for uniquely formulating bonding layer adhesive strength while causing a minimal, or no, change to the dynamics of blister formation in the underlying absorbing / actuating layer.
- the DRL configuration may comprise additional layers as desired.
- a layer of highly absorptive material can be placed between the laser-transparent carrier and the blistering layer to generate the blister forming gas. The purpose of this absorption layer is to decouple the laser absorption properties of the DRL from the mechanical elastic properties required to create a blister with the optimal configuration (height, shape, and width).
- any desired wavelength of laser wavelength transparency can be selected, insofar as properties of the carrier are configured for that wavelength.
- the wavelength of transparency of the laser-transparent layer of the carrier, and the laser wavelength absorbed by the blistering layer must be compatible with the selected laser wavelength.
- the laser frequency and elements of the carrier are selected so that most of the laser pulse energy (e.g., more than 50%, and preferably more than 75%) is transmitted through to the blistering layer and absorbed, (e.g., within a depth of 0.2 to 0.5 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ of the DRL).
- Typical transmission losses are on the order of 4% reflectance at each surface and bulk absorbance of less than 1 % for a transmittance of 91 % (0.96 x 0.99 x 0.96).
- the laser pulse energy can be increased or decreased depending on the transmittance of the laser transparent substrate to have the appropriate pulse energy reach the absorbing layer of the DRL. Because of the large mass of the laser transparent substrate relative to the mass of the absorbing DRL layer, heating of the substrate should not be an issue for attenuations up to 25% in the substrate.
- the laser transparent carrier comprises a 3" x 1/16" fused silica disk (Chemglass Life Sciences, part number CGQ-0600- 10).
- the DRL consists of a first blistering layer of spin-on polyimide (PI-2525, HD Microsystems), followed by an adhesive layer of low molecular weight polyester, formulated in house and designated as PE7.
- FIG. 2 is a thermo-mechanical (blister) response of DRL when
- a magnification of 1000x is shown on the image having a viewing area of about 100 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ .
- FIG. 3 depicts the structure of this PE7 low molecular weight polyester adhesive layer which is based on fatty dimer diacid and biodiesel.
- PE7 was diluted in tetrahydrofuran (THF) to a concentration of 5% by weight.
- THF tetrahydrofuran
- PE7 can be synthesized by charging dimer fatty acid (from Croda Polymer & Coatings) (0.01 mol, 5.70 g), soy biodiesel (From Cargill Inc.) (0.02 mol, 5.54 g), dibutyltin dilaurate (from Sigma-aldrich) (0.05 g), and xylene (20 ml) into a three-necked, round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, a Dean-Stark trap with a condenser, and gas inlet and outlet. The mixture was heated to 160 °C for 3 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. Xylene and water were removed from the system by distillation. Then the mixture was heated to 230 °C for 5 hours to obtain the yellow, viscous liquid of PE7, with the above process providing a yield of about 97%.

- Spin coating of the PI-2525 polyimide layer is carried out as follows: dispense the polyimide on a static substrate and let the polyimide relax, then spin at 500 rpm for 10 seconds (acceleration of 500 rpm/min) followed by 5000 rpm for 40 seconds (acceleration 1000 rpm/min). Curing is achieved in an oven under nitrogen atmosphere as follows: ramp to 120 °C and hold for 30 minutes, then ramp to 350 °C and hold for 30 minutes, cool down gradually to 50 °C or less before exposing to room temperature. The thickness of the polyimide film obtained with these spin-coating and curing parameters was 4 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ which agrees with the spin curves provided by the polyimide manufacturer.
- the PE7 is also dispensed on a static substrate, but unlike the polyimide, the whole fused-silica disc is coated with the solution prior to spinning. Parameters used for spin coating were 5 seconds spin at 500 rpm (acceleration 500 rpm/min) followed by a 4500 rpm spin for 40 seconds (acceleration 1000 rpm/min).
- the Cu film is patterned using standard lithographic technique into squares with 350, 670, and 1000 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ sides to produce dice with the corresponding dimensions.
- the Cu and Ti layers in the streets (the space between the dice) is then etched away to expose the wafer.

- the wafer thickness was measured using a contact profilometer
- the wafer was thinned to 25 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ , it was attached to the DRL on a fused silica carrier serving as a laser-transparent carrier.
- the stack was run through an Optec DPL-24 Laminator to ensure reproducible and evenly distributed bonding pressure between the DRL and the wafer.
- the laminator parameters were as follows: dwell in vacuum for 7 minutes, then pressurize the chamber and dwell for additional 3 minutes. The pressure of the laminator used was set and non-adjustable.
